Isn't it great that dead pixels are now not at all common? I remember my first flat-panel display, which developed multiple dead pixels quite quickly. If I remember right 3.
@wiredfire I know. The fact that there was supposed to be a tolerable failure rate was really suboptimal as once you saw a dead pixel you could never stop staring at it.
@gpowerf I used to kid myself that I’d learn to ignore it.
That was a lie 😆
@gpowerf My curved 4K panel has a dead pixel and it's been annoying me for about 2 years now :(
@gpowerf I had one on my Japanese launch day imported PSP. Loved that thing, but it killed me every time I noticed it.
@gpowerf we don’t even really think about it any more, which is indeed fantastic! My first flat screen had a few bright blue dead pixels, thankfully tucked away in a corner, and my first DS had one. I remember shops and manufacturers feverishly putting together their policies on “acceptable” levels of dead pixel, which was such a crock 😆
